Malloy Jerusalem 32 B  Guy De Lusignan ?



That is one of the first Medieval I tried to attribute, so please  let me know if I got it correct or if I missed it.


I thought the Dome was the Church odf the Holy Seplulchre. If correct, it is.

Congratulation Simon !!! Nice and pretty scarce coin.
Malloy , Schlumberger  attributed this coin to Jerusalem , Guy De Lusignan . Metcalf attributed to Cyprus, where Guy of Lusignan ruled for the last two years of his life . They are found mainly in Cyprus .
Yes , this is Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Here is my two  : https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-89428

Thank You Vlad! I thought it was correct but it was my first attempt with Medieval so I needed some guidance.  I have Malloy's book and the supplement that included the values. This type that you and I have he listed 32b as XR less than 10 known in 1993. He had three variations.

I have Metcalfs book but I did not find it because I was looking at Jerusalem.


Best,

Simon

Reverse (Church of the Holy Sepulchre) of  your coin is similar to my second coin.

Hi Simon,

Nice coin!

That is one of the most beautiful renditions of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre I have ever seen on a coin. It is so clear and sharp. And it is a pretty color too.

I also have a coin depicting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but mine is CCS 38. My example was probably issued by Amaury, and it has a different obverse (a cross).

Here is my example (scroll down, last coin):

Here is another depiction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on crusader coin . Struck from the silver from the tomb edicule of the Sepulchre , during the siege of Jerusalem in September 1187.

Thank You both, what is the best reference to use for especially crusader coinage? I have Malloy, Metcalf but I am not familiar with  Schlumberger.

[Vladislav D]

My first  choice for a general reference is Malloy. But Metcalf have more varieties.

Vlad.
